NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Brooklyns got onto
Knouff in the opening inning to-day and basted
him for four earned runs. The Baltimores made
five errors in that inning. Burns and Davis
equally divided four between them, but they
did not affect the final result of the game The
home team did not hit far, but they
did in good season. knouff struck out only
one man, and he never reached first
base In the fifth inning Baltimore
had two men on bases and none out Daniels
attempted sacrifice, but it went into Tool
hands, and the latter touched first base before
Purcell could return. Then Tucker popped up
fly to Pinkney and goose egg resulted. Clark's
play behind the bat was the best OF the day, and
he batted we'll, too. Griffin LED the batting for
his side. Manager Barnie is looking for Ester
brook to play third. Smith presented with

PHILADELPHIA. Aug 6-The Athletics de-
feated the Metropolitans to-day by hard hitting
and good fielding. The rain that fell early in the
afternoon made the path bad for base running
and but little base stealing was attempted.

made number of pretty catches. Orr made
good catch at center after a long run. Larkn
and OBrien pulled down a couple of fine hits
that looked safe. Lyons and Mann hit the ball
hard when the hits were most needed. Score:
